Yes, dog laser therapy does work. It utilizes an FDA-approved device that generates different light wavelengths, penetrating the tissues at various depths and altering the cellular physiology. The process results in cell growth and proliferation, cell migration into the tissue, and ultimately, tissue repair. Therefore, there are real benefits to laser therapy for animals, including dogs.

We have not had any dogs experience side effects or injury from the laser treatment so far. If used improperly, there may be burn damage on the tissue. However, with proper training on device use, there should be no side effects.

Start bathing them as young as possible so they can get used to it as they grow older. If you've adopted an older dog or have a dog that you haven't been regularly bathing, start slow. Begin by getting them wet with water, lathering them up, and giving them treats and praise along the way. It's important to make it a positive experience for them.

The oatmeal-based shampoos are usually good for any itching issues as they moisturize the skin. If the itching continues despite using this shampoo, and over-the-counter remedies like Benadryl don't help, it might be time for a vet visit. Persistent itching usually indicates an underlying allergy or another issue that needs checking.

As long as you're using a good oatmeal-based shampoo, you shouldn't need to use a conditioner. Avoid using people products or dish soap as they can dry out the skin. In such cases, you might need a conditioner. However, to make your life easier, just stick with an oatmeal-based shampoo.

We recommend using any oatmeal-based shampoo. Get your dog wet, apply the shampoo, lather them up, and rinse them off, ensuring there's no shampoo left. Make sure you clean between the toes, both the front and back side, under the carriage, and around the face. Avoid the eyes and use a washcloth to clean around the face.

If you have a small dog, it might be easiest to bathe them in a sink or tub at home. For larger dogs, you can do it in a tub or outside with a hose. It's essential to ensure your dog's safety by either leashing them outside or ensuring you're in a fenced area to prevent them from running away during the bath. If bathing inside, make sure there's no neck lead around them if they're up high in a tub in case they jump out.
